Operating Your
Tablet PC
This chapter provides information about the use of the Tablet PC.
If you are new to Tablet PCs, reading this chapter will help you learn the
operating basics. If you are already a computer user, you may choose to read
only the parts containing information unique to your Tablet PC.
CAUTION:
Do not expose your skin to the Tablet PC when operating it in a very hot or
cold environment.
The Tablet PC can get uncomfortably warm when you use it in high
